Cons always figure they lost because of no fault of their own, never because their candidate was insufficient or wrong for America.
Neither usually, although we have to face the fact as citizens that we no longer have an informed citizenry. Most people left or right get their news from their point of view only and reject all opposing or countering points of view. The thing about it is most liberals and conservatives want the same things like peace, freedom, a safe place to raise children.
Watching news or consuming media that tries to divide us up into groups based on who we voted for and what channel we get our news from is a divide and conquer mentality put on us by greedy corporations that want to steal America while everyone is bickering over trivialities. So if there are any adults in the room who want to make real change and have a real impact. Try listening to a liberal or conservative ( what ever is your opposing point of view) without trying to assassinate their character or call them an idiot just to make yourself feel better.
Also try on some independent news services and relish the fact that you may not always agree but that it is ok.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
